Thanks, for the WELCOMEs.  Doubt hubby will join, therefore the screenmane CCStan.....carboncopy for Stan.  He Hates the computer more than dialysus ::).  I go through a lot of paper and ink printing up for him.  He is lovable hard head.  Therefore, I read,type and report to his highness.

This broad and others have been a lifesaver for us.  Don't know if I should post this here.  Have to learn the protocol, so forgive any degressions.

 :welcomesign; Carbon copy for Stan

I am also a caregiver, but to 14 yr old teen daughter on dialysis 15 months.  I knew that she didn't feel well on dialysis and this group helped me empathize with her.  Some days really suck and nothing gets done and we live for the good days where we try to get in as much fun and homework as possible!  I think that you will find this group very informative for both of you!

Give Stan a hug from all of us! :grouphug;

Welcome to our community!  There are two things I like about you already. One, you lurked a bit before you joined.  Therefore I don't have to try to convince you of what a great place this is!  Two, you sound as sane as some that we have here  :sarcasm;  I am already looking forward to your posts.  You are now part of the great IHD family. :grouphug;
So, keep reading and keep posting.

You have found a place with a wealth of information!  Great place to learn.  We are glad to have you! maybe your husband could join the boards with his own account. Just ask an admin.
